Mississippi asks the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade

"The conclusion that abortion is a constitutional right has no basis in text, structure, history, or tradition" state Attorney General Lynn Fitch told the justices in a new brief, launching the opening salvo in the most important abortion-related dispute the court has heard in decades.

The case reignites the debate surrounding abortion and comes as states across the country, emboldened by the conservative majority and the addition of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the high court, are increasingly passing restrictive abortion related regulations hoping to curb the constitutional right first established in 1973 in Roe and reaffirmed in 1992 when the court handed down Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

Oral arguments will likely be heard in the late fall or early winter with a decision expected by next June in advance of the midterm elections.

Though the supreme court is an independent body not subject to the political process, it is perhaps worth noting a recent poll found that a majority of Americans support restricting abortions after the first trimester, which is basically what the Mississippi law which the supreme court is considering does.

My take of course is that there should be either:

A. unrestricted, free, on demand abortion, paired with an opt out for men

Or

B. Abortion ban, paired with even more draconian child support laws and pregnancy support
